->''"I know you hear this from, like everyone, but I'm your number one fan!"''-->-- '''Rose''', ''VideoGame/AlanWake''

Stock gush over a major celebrity. If this is said by a minor character, expect them to become a LoonyFan (or AscendedFanboy), though often it's a main character squeeing over someone else. "Number One Fan" is another common term.

Sometimes linked to a visual gag where the person saying it is unusually tall or tiny.

See also AscendedFanboy and StrawFan. If taken too far, it turns into an AbhorrentAdmirer, or even worse, a StalkerWithACrush. When it's the hero, it is often said to an old, retired character -- which can be a great shock to his own fans, who assumed that old man had to be insignificant.
